Don't know if these are etched in stone but Bombers have assigned numbers to some of the rookies and some vets have different sweater numbers this year.

Stoudermire has gone from #15 to #1 for example.

Jamaal Westerman is #55, Jordan Yantz is #18, Sukh Chungh is #69.

If Addison Richards and Garrett Waggoner are signed to contracts, guess Waggoner could be #11, which appears to be open.

Wow, lot of bodies on this roster: http://www.bluebombers.com/roster/index/team/5

Not a chance.

 

When was the last time you saw someone wear #11?

Wouldn't it be neat of we had more than the minimum number of starting Canucks in games? It has happened on other teams before, but often.

As if someone suggested #11...."apparently it's open".... Eesh.

I understand that they did tests and found that etching the numbers in stone took too long a time and seriously slowed players down.  On the plus side, when someone wearing a number etched in stone manages to hit someone, they stay hit.

There's a Bryant Turner joke in there somewhere.

Would be interesting to know if players have worn #6 or #11 in training camp?

number 11 is reserved for Ken Ploens comeback. And that is etched in stone.

Yes, pretty much every year.

Josh Portis had #6 all last year, and I think he wore it when he was gameday rostered.

Geez, how could I forget about Ken Ploen? But has that number been retired forever? Who else wore #1 besides Blink?

They don't officially retire any numbers, I don't think, but a bunch have been unofficially retired...97, 85, 06, 11, 63.......

As if someone suggested #11...."apparently it's open".... Eesh.

How long is long enough? I guess 50 years isn't long enough.

either retire it or use it I say.

Ivan Brown has been assigned 97 for training camp.

 

Yeah ... another Brown.

I'd cry if someone took #71...

well then it makes sense.  Probably why Brock Ralph wore the number 5 backwards in training camp...

Now that I think of it, Kito Poblah had #1 after Charles Roberts.

Charles Roberts isn't even the last Roberts to wear number 1 for the Bombers.

 

Michael Roberts wore it for a game during the season after Blink left.

Now that I think of it, Kito Poblah had #1 after Charles Roberts.

 

And so that's what happened, #1 is forever cursed now.

After Ike Charlton wore #0 I didnt know who could possibly do justice to that number ever again

Johnny Sears wore 0

Sarcasm

lol. Has any one worn harold nashs' 00 since he left? Loved that number, hell of a player too.
